8 is a BIG One

Yep, 8 is great.
Eden has been waiting for her 8th birthday luau forEVER!!
And the day finally dawned...




Cupcakes.
It's a towel on the beach and not until Indy pointed it out did I realize that I had placed the umbrella in the water.

Practicing the hula.

Limbo.

Out of the 7 girls invited, only 3 were able to attend.
Although, they made up for the missing girls in volume. Dogs were barking around the world when these girls started squealing.

The birthday girl with her cupcake birthday cake.

Everyone had to earn their cupcakes on the cake walk. I tend to love the thrill of cake walks and the excitement was high.

Poor Indy.
Couldn't win to save it life.
So naturally we must resort to cheating.
Don't be concerned, that is the expression one makes when one receives cold hard cash as a gift from R.
Eden loves money.

I had to tell Eden to be respectful of her other friends' gifts when she blurted out "the money is my favorite gift."


Friends.

Tangled.

Gettin' ready for the pinata and luckily Indy is ahead of the game. Can't lose many teeth in this game.
Eden is determined to kill it.

Since we made our own pinata, we stepped back to the third grade and used paper mache and 3 layers of newspaper and brown paper bags. It was TOUGH to break.
However, I came in and saved the day.
I released some bundled up aggression and showed that pinata who's boss.
After the candy scramble, all the girls went and played my favorite game...organizing.

The crew.

Not to be forgotten.

What a party. What a relief that it is over.
Eden will be baptized March 26th if anyone wants to come.
10:00am
at the Stake Center

We wanted to let you know about our new site: www.MommyGiggles.com.

Mommy Giggles is a site where moms submit funny pictures to share with other moms to get a giggle out of. They can either be pictures of their kids or of other hilarious “mommy moments”

We are contacting you to see if you have a funny picture that we could post – we would of course give you the credit, and also post your blog (if you want). There is also a $25 Amazon Gift card drawing to everyone who submits a photo each month.

We also would appreciate if you could spread the word about our site to other moms too!

We hope you will get a “giggle” out of our site.

Warmest Regards,

Heather Matthews & Heidi Werry
